Beauty On The Beach

Venus-like from the ocean she rose Forcing a gasp from all those Who the seashore did frequent And their heart beat soaring sent.

Liquid pools of blue were her eyes, A glance brought forth volcanic sighs, From the old and the young alike; Emotions flowed as from a broken dyke.

She tip-toed on the sinking wet sand Holding a seashell in her hand, The long wet glistening tress Her unmatched beauty did express;

Struck dumb were those around Who sat there totally spellbound, With a toss of her head in becoming grace, Aware of the crowded human race, She glided to the colourful parasol Looking at no one at all;

Under the canopy in blissful repose she lay Savouring the joy of a sunny day, Little did she know of their plight Whose hearts she had set alight.
